Comment on "You'll end up in a van down by the river" if you do drugs, don't go to college, etc. advice never includes the warning: "Don't suffer major Depression that gives you complete apathy for existence."

As a formerly homeless person with some sort of chronic illness, yep.

I made it out, but the absolute anxiety of always falling back into poverty weighs heavy. I truly don’t think I can do it again.
